A must read for anyone who has ever been in chronic pain or who knows someone who is. And what an important, timely book! A well--researched & comprehensive handbook about the incredible healing powers of marijuana, its uses in reducing pain and inducing sleep. And an inspiring account of the author's relentless search for relief from debilitating symptoms to a renewed physical well being found in cannabis. Personally, the therapeutic effects of this calming "superherb" are nothing short of miraculous! But I wouldn't know that if I hadn't been convinced of it from reading this book. Now, if we could only putit in the hands of more politicians to do the right thing and make medical marijuana legal in all states in the US!

This book is so helpful for someone who is looking into Medical Marijuana as a healing protocol. Norma spells it all out an easy-to-understand language. She provides answers using medical marijuana and gives us her personal insights as she discovered the power of it's healing.Norma guides you thru the Medical Marijuana journey with scientific, medical, holistic and spiritual aspects. It is great to get a book from the perspective of someone experiencing the healing as opposed to a researcher. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is contemplating Medical Marijuana.

The discussion around cannabis remains controversial, complicated and confusing. Even though I was raised in Amsterdam, where this recreational drug is tolerated, I was fully aware of the harmful and addictive dangers of marijuana, like cigarettes and alcohol.It wasn’t until I heard Norma’s story, that the use of cannabis in different forms can have medical benefits, without the risks usually associated with it. In her book she shares her personal story and informs in a very friendly and clear manner how this herb has healing power.

The Medical Marijuana Handbook fills a critical gap in the medical marijuana movement. As the availability of medical marijuana has greatly increased over the last 5 years, the resources necessary for patients to be able to easily navigate the many essential considerations of marijuana use have not been readily available. Eckroate has successfully filled this gap by providing a practical guide that is grounded in both science and personal direct experience.

I commend Eckroate for effectively addressing the stigmas associated with this natural herb. Her research clearly dispels common myths and misinformation, clearing the way for patients to utilize cannabis and receive it’s significant health benefits. Additionally, this book is an enjoyable read as it details the author’s personal journey as a first time marijuana patient.

Although this book is presented as a patient guide, my own knowledge of medical marijuana is greater after reading the scientific research of how cannabis fortifies the body’s inherent healing mechanisms. I highly recommend this guide to physicians and allied health professional, as well as patients.

Although I don’t support the recreational use of marijuana, I had heard a lot about it as a way to ease pain and nausea for people undergoing chemo. I picked up a copy of this book for a friend and as I started reading it, I became drawn in, not only by the compelling information, but by the friendly, conversation tone in which it is written. For me it was fascinating to learn that medical marijuana helps the body’s self-healing system work more effectively. And that the US Government has numerous patents on the drug. As someone who believes in holistic healing, the use of medical marijuana makes perfect sense. Because of this book I now understand that it is really a healing herb despite the barrage of mis-information.

This is the best book I've read on this. It is the most up to date with all areas that I had concerns with and she made it easy to understand. I was astounded how much it benefits our body and I certainly hope you will not hesitate to learn all that I learned and tell your friends so they too can be more healthy.
